On my adventure, I stopped by Magnolia’s bakery to pick up a banana pudding and a red velvet cupcake. It was a great day to walk around and feel the wind on my face. The cobblestones were quite different by the area and that was impressive. Many of the areas were under construction so it wasn’t very clean. There were many puddles in between and trash stuck between the stones in many areas and that made the area not as beautiful as it could have been.
